 Fraternity No. 5. P. P. F.
 New Haven Fraternity No. 5, P. P. F., held their adjourned regular meeting Satur- day evening at their rooms in the COURIER building. The regular business was rapidly disposed of and the Fraternity listened for about three-quarters of an hour to some very interesting remarks by MT. Mansfield, who recently returned from Kansas City whither he had been sent as a delegate from New Haven Fraternity to the annual convention of the National Printers Protective Fra ternity. The speaker said he was highly de- lighted with his trip west and regarded the National Fraternity as sound, well managed and rapidly increasing in its influence, while applications for charters were coming in from all sections of the country for subordi- nate fraternities.
 After MT. Mansfield concluded his remarks he was escorted to David Cowell's restaurant and rendered a banquet by his brothers of New Haven Fraternity No. 5. After re- galing themselves sumptuously all returned to their hall and spent the remainder of the evening in various pleasant ways, all agree ing that they had enjoyed one of the most pleasant evenings of the season, and voted that Fraternity was the proper term to apply to the name of this new and rapidly growing orpanization

Bishops view the directors were unani- mously of the opinion that the sterling in- tegrity and great abilities of Charles P.

 ''Is it true that he, withdrew from the field in the interstate commissionership race to take the new place?" ''Suoh is the fact. He had been advised that this posi- tion would be rendered him and he preferred it. He never had any special personal de- sire for an appointment on the interstate commission, but he yielded to the requests of influential friends who believed that if he became 8 member he would elevate the standing of the commission in the public es- nation"

John H. G. Durant, iewelry dealer at 3s and 40 Church street, lost small diamond on Saturday and for two hours he had small hopes of finding it. But the bright eyes of his little daughter Nellie brought joy to the heart of her father by espying the lost dia- mond. MT. Durant was holding the dia- rond in his store when it fell to the floor and rolled down the heating register. The pipes were then taken out and cleaned, but no diamond was found. Under a hole in the pipe as it descended to the basement was a lot of coal, and this was all sifted. Then 8 quantity of wood also near by was handled over and thrown to another place. MT. Du- rant, after two hours hard work, was about giving up in despair when Nellie called out, "Papa, here it is;" and sure enough it was. On the ground under where the wood had been thrown was the diamond, throwing forth its pure lustre. The jewel was valued at &950
